The 21 October AI Employees and Context Graphs are in preview for existing customers only, and their REST and MCP access isn't documented, so an outside agent can reach the automation platform but not the new parts.\n\n**Workato API + MCP.** API client tokens scoped by role and project, with legacy full-access keys removed on 14 October 2025. No OpenAPI file and no official SDK on npm or PyPI.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kognitos\n\n1. Don't plan on Context Graph or AI Employee calls. Neither the MCP tool list nor the OpenAPI file has them, and both are customer preview only\n2. Call `GET /me/organizations` and then list workspaces first, since nearly every path needs `organization_id` and `workspace_id`\n3. Invoke with `stage: AUTOMATION_STAGE_PUBLISHED` for production and `AUTOMATION_STAGE_DRAFT` to test, then poll the run until it leaves `pending` or `running`\n4. Treat a `waiting` run as a question for a person. Answer it through the exception tools or ask the owner, rather than retrying\n5. Use OAuth with callback port 3777 for the MCP server. Another port can fail with a callback URL mismatch\n\n### Workato API + MCP\n\n1. Use the base URL for the workspace's data centre, and app.trial.workato.com for Free or Pro\n2. Give the agent an API client whose role lists only the endpoints it needs. The MCP server exposes those as tools\n3. Repeat or cancel at most 25 jobs per call and no more than one call a second\n4. Send an `x-correlation-id` on each call so failures can be traced in support tickets\n5. Every action step in a recipe is a task, so collapse loops before running at volume\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kognitos or Workato API + MCP?\n\nWorkato API + MCP scores 58 (C) on agent readiness against Kognitos's 57 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Kognitos leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Do Kognitos and Workato API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Kognitos and Workato API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Kognitos has a hosted endpoint at https://app.us-1.kognitos.com/api/v1 and Workato API + MCP at https://www.workato.com/api.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kognitos-vs-workato.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kognitos-vs-workato.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"kognitos\", \"b\": \"workato\"}`.
